More Powerful V6 Engine

A new, larger and more powerful 3.6L
direct-injected V6 - known by its "LFX" engine code - is the new and sole engine
for the SRX. It delivers an SAE-certified 308 horsepower (230 kW) and 265 lb-ft
of torque (359 Nm).

The LFX is a 60-degree design, with the cylinder
block and cylinder heads cast in aluminum for low weight. A forged steel
crankshaft provides optimal strength in the bottom end, while the cylinder heads
include four valves per cylinder, with a dual overhead camshaft design
incorporating infinitely variable cam phasing.

Additionally,
optimized-flow fuel injectors and the integrated exhaust manifolds/cylinder
heads promote lower emissions. The LFX's composite intake manifold also has a
comparatively small radiated surface area to help it maintain excellent noise
and vibration characteristics.

The Hydra-Matic 6T70 six-speed automatic
transmission is matched with the LFX engine and features the driver-selectable
Eco feature for enhanced fuel economy. The available all-wheel-drive system
incorporates an electronic limited-slip rear differential, which not only
improves traction in slippery road conditions but provides side-to-side torque
transfer along the rear axle to enhance control during hard cornering.

Chassis and Suspension

The SRX has a four-wheel independent
suspension system and a standard rack-and-pinion hydraulic steering system - and
offers a variable-effort, speed-sensitive steering system - with tuning biased
for sport sedan-style driving and strong on-center feel. StabiliTrak electronic
stability control is standard and works in concert with the standard
four-wheel-disc/four-channel-ABS braking system.

A trailering package is
available on the Luxury, Performance and Premium Collections and increases the
towing capacity to 3,500 pounds (1,587 kg).

Safety and Crash Avoidance
Features

The SRX is designed to protect occupants before, during and
after a crash. A strong body structure and chassis that absorb crash energy are
complemented by martensitic steel in the fully enclosed rocker sections.
Martensitic steel is one of the strongest available and its use in the rockers
helps protect against intrusion during a side-impact crash while also helping
maintain the structure during front and rear crashes.

The
SRX is also designed to meet European pedestrian protection standards; and the
front bumper is positioned for greater compatibility with car bumpers.

OnStar Standard

OnStar is standard on all models. It uses GPS and
cellular phone technology to automatically call for help in the event of crash.
OnStar subscribers also can use the service to be Good Samaritans by sending
help to other motorists, and to call for help in other non-crash emergencies.
